Thanks. I did import the lib folder which contained a jar and added it to the build path. Now though when I try to use one of the classes it says the jar has no source files..

If you really want to import class library - to use classes of that library but not to modify it,<br />
<br />
then you right-click on the project and go to Build Path --&gt; addexternalArchive and select your jar with the classes as it is<br />
<br />

Copy lib folder into new project

Java is a platform-independent, object-oriented programming language and run-time environment, designed to have as few implementation dependencies as possible such that developers can write one set of code across all platforms using libraries. Most devices will not run Java natively, and require a run-time component to be installed in order to execute a Java program.
